In 2023 Mattotti illustrated the fourth volume of Artù, Lancillotto e il Graal (Einaudi) and these drawings will be exhibited at our institute with an opening on April 20 during Stockholm Culture Night.
Lorenzo Mattotti lives and works in Paris, where he moved in 1998. He debuted as a cartoonist in the late 70s with black and white comic strips inspired by the expressionism of José Muñoz and Carlos Sampayo. After studying architecture in Venice, he moved to Bologna where in 1983 he founded the group Valvoline together with the Bolognese cartoonists Daniele Brolli, Giorgio Carpinteri, Igort, Marcello Jori and Jerry Kramsky. The group's aim was to put comics in dialogue with other art forms, music, fashion and advertising through an interdisciplinary look and with a pop-art feel. They published the comic magazine Alter Alter. Welcome to listen and learn more at Serieteket!
